How collagen can change your life
Collagen is a wonder supplement. The more we study and research the compound, the more we realise the sheer volume of incredible benefits collagen has.
Collagen is literally the most available and plentiful protein in the human body. It’s absolutely everywhere. In your skin, your joints, your brain, your tendons, your ligaments, your organs. I mean
EVERYWHERE. So, why are we just now starting to realise the awesome benefits of collagen supplementation?
Well, collagen is a sneaky little protein. For example: when you look at a brick house, you might say “WOW what a BEAUTIFUL BRICK HOUSE!”. You don’t often hear “WOW, that’s an INCREDIBLE MORTAR HOUSE”. While the brick is the facade, and sometimes the support, the MORTAR is what’s holding it all together. Without the mortar, the whole house comes crumbling down.
Likewise, collagen acts as that web, that connectivity that holds your bodily structures together. Without it, you’ll crumble too.
When we’re kids, we produce collagen like little collagen factories. Good, high-quality collagen. The kind of stuff that makes their joints and skin soft and supple. Flexible. Sometimes you might see a kid fall at a playground and think “If I fell like that, I might break every bone in my body”. Yet, after a good cry, children can brush it off and be on their merry way.
As we age, our collagen production decreases. This is one of the contributing factors to aging. As our collagen decreases, our bodies wear down. Joints become weaker and more prone to injury. Skin becomes drier, less elastic, more wrinkly.
Basically all of the crappy parts that we hate about getting older, we can attribute to collagen, or lack thereof. Getting older sucks, we know. Luckily for us, collagen supplements have hit the market. And they are changing people’s lives everyday.
Not to get too sappy and inspirational, but collagen can help improve your overall wellness.
